The USD 247 School District was notified on December 16, 2020 that one student and one staff member at Southeast High School have tested positive for COVID-19.  In cooperation with the Crawford County Health Department, we are following tracing protocol and individuals in contact with this student and staff member will be notified by the school district and the Crawford County Health Department with further instructions.

Individuals who have tested positive for COVID-19 will isolate and not be present at school for a minimum of 10 days or until they have been released by their healthcare provider and the health department.  In addition, students/staff who are identified as high risk close contacts will be required to quarantine per county health department guidelines.

As per our established protocol, we will thoroughly clean and disinfect the spaces in our building where the students were present.  Mitigation efforts will be adjusted as recommendations from the Health Department are received. We are closely monitoring this situation and will provide you with updates as we know more.  If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact us.

Dr. Brad Miner, Superintendent of Schools
